Re: Chalumeau Eb fingering question

I've seen it and used it on a Selmer Eb I had. But here's the thing. It plays well in tune on some horns such as the older Selmers, which I strongly feel were the best Eb horns at the time. The 1960's. Better than Buffet's for sure as far as tuning. None of the Eb clarinets were great during this era.

But you can't use this fingering all of the time, only for the slower movements. The Eb I had was sadly stolen, so I'm not up on the later models. I went through a short phase for about 6 months and played on all Selmers, the 9* horns but went back to Buffet and only kept the Eb clarinet. I went back to R13's. But there was something very special with the Selmer's which I really liked. The key work was amazing and the high register above C was much easier to play.

Hope this helps.
